(Judy Small)
Chorus:
We were never rock 'n' rollers, you and I
We never were that young, we never got that high
We were never rock 'n' rollers
But we get by - we get by
Well I stood in front of mirrors and pretended to play
All the hits on the radio
All the Peter Paul and Mary and Dylan and Joan
I dreamed of the time when the songs would be my own
And I could be a pop star too
And meanwhile over there a world away
You were playing rock 'n' roll in bars
All the Elvis and the Comets and Rock Around the Clock
Anything at all as long as it was rock
As long as it could take you to the stars
And now look at us here in middle age
We're living all the dreams we had
We travel the world playing our guitars
In concert halls and clubs and smoky little bars
And you know it doesn't seem half bad
Our songs'll never make it to the charts we know
And we'll never have a number one
There's no one screaming at us as we board our planes
We live our lives in peace with our modicum of fame
And smile as the rock stars run
